The Israeli far-right gained power in part due to Hamas, PLO and Hezbollah attacks.
It's an endless spiral of violence, reprisal and even more violence.
didn’t Israel start this by bombing their embassy in Syria?
Israel bombed their embassy in Syria as a response to Iran helping Hezbollah and Hamas. At one point an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps spokesman said October 7th was a response to the death of Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, although they later retracted that. The Israelis wanted Soleimani gone because of his role in supporting Hamas and Hezbollah and earlier attacks on Israel, including his involvement in the 2006 war in Lebanon. Etc. etc. etc. on and on back to before Iran became Iran.

methane is not the supposed solution countries like Hungary, Slovakia and Austria think it is.
It is. It is the solution that will keep them in power until the next election.
Next year will be a bit dicey, but after that they're done. Europe alone can outspend Russia 100 times without breaking a sweat. They'll bankrupt themselves, again.

I wonder if it's dawning on some of them that supporting Russia, a country with an economy the size of the Netherlands and Belgium, is probably less profitable than supporting the US defense industry and selling weapons to markets which make Russia look like Burkino Faso with nukes.
I mean, ignoring the morality or right and wrong of it all, since that's less relevant to some of these ghouls.
Been like that for a while.
For example, /r/videos supposedly has 30 million subscribers, but you can sometimes hit the front page of that sub with 50 upvotes.
Subs like that have been decimated by tiktok, so it's safe to assume most of the subscribers have left. It simply doesn't make sense.
I really liked mini Yoda. I don't get why you hate Disney so much.
So much great content. Really is the golden age of television now that the companies like Disney and Netflix are all trying to compete with each other.
I always enjoying pirating their shows and movies.
They were getting more radical anyway.
It's important to remember that there are no 'good guys' in this whole shit show.
Iran was probably involved in the October 7th attacks. Some media even reported the IRGC claimed it was a reprisal for the death of Soleimani, although Hamas (and later Iran) denied it.
Just because the Israeli government is filled with Jewish supremacists and fascists, doesn't mean the Iranian's are the good guys. For example, they tortured and executed up to 30,000 political prisoners in 1988, a similar death toll to Israel's in Gaza.
Too much military industrial complex money in politics.
It's shocking to realise how much of capitalism is just irrational bullshit tulip mania nonsense.
Sure, AI's going to change the world, but some of the valuations are absurd.
